gas mileage?
so i got gas last night($45) :wallbash: and i only got 11 mpg. now im not really complaining cause i knew this problem when i bought the mustang, but i think i should be getting a little bit better mpg.
any suggestions? |
It shouldn't be that low. Have you really been romping on it?
|
i usually get 11 when im hard on it....but 16-17 when i drive normally....and 27mpg on the freeway
|
once in a while, but not that often. could the fact that i dont have MIL eleiminators be a problem?

I average 19 around town and about 24/25 on the hwy.
|
Yeah man, get those MIL eliminators on or get the rear O2's shut off and you'll pick up some milage.
|
I get roughly 15.5-16.
|
21 MPG on 93 when I baby it (not highway)
My MPG are worse on Highway... |
19 city 24 highway:stupid:
|
having an offroad mid pipe with no MIL's or a tune ot turn them off doesnt effect anything including MPG. Your car sounds like its running pourly and needs a tune up.

I'm going to agree with the fritobandito...
If you're getting 11mpg then you need a tune and a tune up. Get your injectors cleaned or replaced and replace the fuel filter, new plugs and wires. I get 8-17mpg in the city and 17-24 on the freeway depending on how hard I'm standing on the right pedal. If I drive less than crazy I see the higher side of that chart every time. |
I with the rest, you also answered your own question in your "coming soon" list with the plugs, wires, and coils.

my mach 1 got 23mpg on the drive home (interstate, but first day i had it so i had fun), 22mpg when i tried babying it around town for best possible mileage, some highway and city... and 18mpg trying to get worst possible, practically racing stop light to stop light and almost half the tank at 80-135mph |

How do you get 8mpg? I dont care who you are that's like almost impossible haha |
If you shift at 6,000 RPM everywhere you go and you have 4.10 gears then you will be getting like 11 miles per gallon city.

If I were patient enough I'd let the thing warm up a little but, I'm not patient so that takes care of that. You can see what the result is.. 8mpg.
|
I am getting 19 in the city and I romp on it all the time. I was getting 13.8 until I installed a K&N cai.
|
Worst I got with my '04, 4.10'd, S/C'd, 42lb injector'd GT was 17 City beating the piss out of it.
Best I got was when I was on the way home from the dealership in MD with it....28 MPG. I still get 23-25 on the hwy with NO problem. 4.10's FTW http://www.mcmmotorsports.com/smilies/rockon.gif |
